Mind of Mariah

Lately Mariah likes to distinguish gender roles....with almost everything. I don't know where she gets most of it.

Mariah: Mom, look. There's Jasmine on my socks."
Me: Cool
Mariah: No, pretty. Cool is for boys


Cody: How are you, Dude?"
Mariah: Don't call me dude. Dude is for boys.

Cody: (on the phone) Are you going to dance tomorrow?
Mariah: Yeah
Cody: Cool
Mariah: No... Pretty

Mariah: Mom, I'm scared of bad guys.
Me: It's ok. I'll protect you.
Mariah: Daddy could fight them. Boys fight bad guys and girls go call the police.
